- Conflict Management: Facilitate "high-friction" public meetings, expertly managing divergent perspectives regarding industrial growth, environmental impact, and public health.
- Stakeholder Bridging: Use your understanding of the maritime sector to translate technical terminal operations into meaningful conversations for community leaders, and vice versa.
Required Qualifications
- Professional Experience: Minimum of 5+ years of professional experience in dispute resolution, public facilitation, community engagement or high-level stakeholder management.
- NYC/NYS/NJ Public Agency Experience such as PANYNJ, MTA, NYSDOT, NYCDOT, NJDOT
- PANYNJ Experience Preferred
- Education: Master’s degree in Dispute Resolution, Public Administration, or a related field is strongly preferred.
- Proven Track Record in Neutrality: Demonstrated ability to maintain neutrality while working with powerful corporate entities and passionate community organizations.
- High-Stakes Facilitation: Documented experience leading public meetings where significant conflict or opposing viewpoints are present.

- Industry Knowledge: A baseline familiarity with the maritime and port sector to effectively navigate industry-specific discussions.
